Bukhara
Detail of two marble lions at the entrance to the main building of the palace, Sitora-I-Mohi-Hosa, 1911, Bukhara, Uzbekistan, pictured on July 13, 2010 in the morning. Alim-khan, last Emir of Bukhara, built this summer palace, 4 km north of the city, in a mixture of Russian and Oriental style using Russian architects. These lions were made by Nurata masters. Bukhara, a city on the Silk Route is about 2500 years old. Its long history is displayed both through the impressive monuments and the overall town planning and architecture. Picture by Manuel Cohen
